Green Mountain Boys
On August 16, 1777 the "Green Mountain Boys" fought under General
Stark at the Battle of Bennington. It's green field represented their
name and the thirteen white stars a tribute to the thirteen colonies.
A notable victory of the Green Mountain Boys under Ethan Allen, occurred
on the morning of May 10, 1775, when they silently invaded the British
held Fort Ticonderoga and demanded its surrender "In the name of the
great Jehovah and the Continental Congress". The captured cannon and
mortars were transported across the snow covered mountains of New
England and their installation on the heights over Boston Harbor enabled
Washington to force the British to leave that important seaport.
